I sold a 10' with a very similar story and mileage for right around that price range about a month ago, took quite a bit of time to get it sold as it is definitely a certain type of buyer looking for that kind of history with a car.
Should definitely be able to get in that price range however, so another vote for +/- 70k. GLWS.
BTW, this is the car (it's mine). Mileage is 39.6K. Clean title. Zero overrevs in any range. Both sets of wheels go with the car. Still think low $70's?
Weren't you asking $75k? If so low $70k's isn't much different then your ask. It's a nice looking car.

$75K was/will be the non-negotiable bottom line price. That's "mid $70's" - yes, I know that is splitting hairs.
When I advertised the car on Rennlist several months ago, the interested potential buyers were either tire kickers, email pen pals, or bargain hunters hoping for a desperate or motivated seller - which I am not. Not one of over a dozen seemingly interested people made the effort to see and drive the car in person after a zillion questions were answered and almost that many photographs and copies of documents were provided. And, of course, there were a couple of obvious scammers who crept out of the woodwork.
Just back in - 2010 Porsche GT3, white/black, 15k miles. Excellent condition, great DME with 42 Range 1s and none range 2-6, all original paint except for the mirrors and the wheels (latter painted black).
Heavily optioned as well, plus a bonus carbon steering wheel and painted harness bar. GT3 side graphics have been added since these photos were taken. Updated photos will be posted to my site soon.
$119,980

Jack, what was the damage. I think the 70's figure is a bit low but what do I know. Let us know the damage cost and we can go from there.
Unfortunately I don't have the details or copies of the repair invoice, just the Carfax that mentions the accident. The previous owner (a long-time Porsche enthusiast friend) was aware of the accident when he purchased the car and his PPI revealed no visible trauma underneath aside from evidence that the left rear quarter panel had been replaced.
The Champion Motorsport wheels that were on the car likely were dealer installed options (the car was sold new at Champion) as all 4 have 2007 date codes so I assume the left rear wheel wasn't damaged as the accident occurred in 2009.
The damage issue never bothered me as pre-retirement, I spent 33+ years in my Corporate America job handling and supervising auto accident claims with a major insurer and know that repairs can be done correctly at a competent shop. But I am also aware that an accident history negatively effects the value of any vehicle, especially so on the higher-end ones and the buyer pool shrinks considerably on those.
Every prospective buyer who has shown a serious interest has been furnished with a comprehensive thorough, accurate and honest description along with several photographs of the car and photographs of all the documentation that I have including the Carfax, title and alignment/corner balance specs from Goldcrest Motorsports. The car is as pristine as a nine year old Porsche that is driven can be. I used to be a concours nut when I was younger and more agile. This car could be competitive in that arena with a little effort with a toothbrush and some mineral spirits.
What is it worth? To me, $75K. To someone else.....??

I think you've presented this car correctly and logically.
I believe this same car without the repair, same miles and clean DME would sell privately for $90k (+- $3k) range...and I think that is conservative.
The logical next step is to deduct for the repair...which you've done to over 16.6% off private market price.
I believe that is the fair discount for that type of repair on this type of car. You've done everything correctly pricing this car...hell my 74 Trans Am has panel gaps from the factory that you could drive a GT3 right thru lol....now just have to wait for the right buyer who is more interested in a driver car and knows the value here. This is an amazing car to be able to get into at that price point. You'll find a buyer...just have to be patient with all the tire kickers and lowballers...remember there is only 1 buyer for your car....the one who gives you the money...I think your price is right. Good luck!
